Chapter 1011 Orphan Girl Going to the Countryside 55

Zhang Yu turned to look at Liu Li who was calm, "I remember you wanted to borrow money to buy a job before?"

"Lend me money." Liu Li said angrily.

"If you don't have money, don't borrow it. The old Liu family has no reputation." Zhang Yu said simply.

"So, since I don't have money to buy a job, I don't want to go through the hassle. Rather than marrying something inferior to a pig or a dog, I might as well become an educated youth."

"I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Liu Li took a deep breath, "Go to the west."

"Go to the border. It's far away from the capital. Maybe I won't be able to come back in this life."

Going to the frontier? Zhang Yu didn't expect Liu Li to be so cruel to him, "Bless you."

"Work hard when you get there. As for the farm, I heard that the work is mechanized and you get paid."

"Although it's not as prosperous as here, at least I have a monthly income. The Liu family's troubles have nothing to do with you."

"If there is a bad thing, it is that you have to change from a city girl to a peasant woman."

Even now, Zhang Yu still didn't forget to stimulate Liu Li a little.

Liu Li heard the hidden meaning of Zhang Yu's words and smiled bitterly, "It's better for a peasant woman to be a peasant woman than for them to force me to marry a wife beater."

Zhang Yu understood that Liu Qiang didn't care at all about the man's character in order to get a high betrothal gift.

Zhang Yu didn't ask who the other party was, "It's better to leave early, otherwise there will be a lot of fun when your dad gets the gift."

Zhang Yu is really curious. He wonders if Liu Qiang took the bride price from the other party. Since he can beat his wife, it means that the other party is a scumbag.

Knowing that Liu Li went to become an educated youth, the Liu family would not be able to afford a daughter-in-law, so it would definitely be very lively.

Wow, when he thought that there would be something exciting to watch, Zhang Yu suddenly felt that life was really promising.

Liu Li and Zhang Yu talked all the way, and when they were approaching the courtyard, Zhang Yu excused himself from going back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, so he refused to go back to the courtyard with her.

Just kidding, if this thing gets too big, Liu Qiang, who has no money and no help, doesn't know how he will get angry.

Liu Li glanced at her back, her eyes darkened, and then walked towards the courtyard.

After Zhang Yu arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, he rushed in before closing, "Sister Hao, I'm here to get something."

Hao Min was getting ready to get off work. When he saw Zhang Yu, he said angrily, "Why are you here now?"

"Something delayed me today. Thank you, Sister Hao. I will catch a fish another day..."

Hao Min was not polite to Zhang Yu, and quickly took out the wrapped cloth from under the counter, "It was soaked in water, so the color is a little uneven, but it doesn't hinder its use."

Zhang Yu couldn't help but nod, "It's okay, just treat it as a gradient."

He looked at the money on the receipt and quickly took it out of his pocket.

"Yeah, the important thing is not to give away the ticket." Hao Min took the money, but even though they were the only two in the store now, he still lowered his voice.

"I'll let you know if I have something good next time."

After Zhang Yu thanked the other party again, he took the things and went home.

After Zhang Yu goes to work, she is used to carrying a bag to and from get off work, so that no one will stare at her when she brings things home.

Otherwise, whenever he takes something, the neighbors will keep asking questions and sighing, but Zhang Yu is too lazy to bother them.

When Zhang Yu passed by the courtyard of the Zhongyuan, he heard Wang Pandi's scolding on the opposite side. He knew that all the Liu family should have gone home, and the commotion started on the opposite side.

Zhang Yu entered his home without stopping. Li Cui had already prepared the food. When he saw her coming back, he said, "Let's eat."

Zhang Yu washed his hands and started to eat dinner, "Sister Hao helped me buy three meters of cloth today. I figured I could make a summer dress for both my mother and I."

Yes, the fabric given this time was thin summer cotton. On the way home, Zhang Yu had already thought about it and made two sets of clothes.

When Li Cui heard that she had bought 3 meters of fabric, her first thought was that she could make two sets of clothes for Zhang Yu, "No, no, no."

"You have to go to work, so wear better clothes. I don't have to go to work, so feel free to do it."

"And I have clothes." Li Cui refused in various ways, insisting that Zhang Yu had already gone to work, so he should dress beautifully.

With just such a fabric, can it still look beautiful? Well, cloth tickets are hard to get now, and there are no patches on the clothes, which is already good.

"Milk, Sister Hao said, if you have some fabric next time, you can continue to bring it to me."

"The fabric next time will definitely be different from this one, so we can all have new clothes to wear." Zhang Yu knew that the old lady might hide the fabric next time.

Next time? Li Cui's eyes suddenly lit up. She had all kinds of objections to Zhang Yu's arrangement, "Just leave the fabric if you have it."

"It'll be fine if you keep this thing for a few years. I'll make you new clothes next year or the year after." Li Cui insisted.

Alas, people are like this nowadays. They like to hide things when they have something. They have become accustomed to this.

Zhang Yu can't say that many materials don't need to be collected. In a decade or so, there will be an excess supply of materials. Not to mention fabrics, just clothes. Everyone likes to buy finished products.

No one will believe this. They will think that Zhang Yu's words are a beautiful idea.

He didn't bother to persuade her, "Nai, Sister Hao knows many people and can always get such fabrics. Everyone knows that our family is rich."

"You said that with the fabric, I only care about dressing up. I don't even know what people in the yard will say about me when I make new clothes for you."

Zhang Yu knew how to make Li Cui change his mind. After hearing these words, the latter hesitated and said, "Sure, let's do it."

"I'll just make a top." Li Cui insisted.

"One for each person." Zhang Yu insisted, "Otherwise, even if you make new clothes, I won't wear them."

Seeing Zhang Yu's persistence, Li Cui was very pleased, "Okay, okay, I'll wear new clothes too."

After Zhang Yu persuaded Li Cui, he breathed a long sigh of relief. When he was about to drink fish soup, he heard a voice calling for help from the other side.

Zhang Yu heard something bad, Liu Qiang must have hit someone, "Liu Qiang is so angry that he is so embarrassed."

After mentioning the incident of meeting Liu Li on the way home, Li Cui suddenly realized, "I wonder why Liu Li's child is so ignored."

"It's really not that bad to meet such parents." Li Cui sighed.

"It's good to become an educated youth. At least you can have a salary to support yourself. Otherwise, if you stay here, you'll just have to work like a cow or a horse. She will do all the housework and get beaten and scolded."

Li Cui thinks going to the countryside is good news for Liu Li, "I thought she would borrow money."

"Can she receive the loan?"

"And do you think the Liu family could let her go if they knew she was at work?" Li Cui could guess why.

Zhang Yu hummed, "That's right, the safest way is to be an educated youth."

"And we'd better go to the border." Even if Liu Qiang had any ideas, he couldn't go there.

The journey is long and the tickets are expensive. Most importantly, it is impossible for Liu Qiang to take such a long vacation.
